first horror in a long while that has made me uncomfortably on edge - the combination of nature and beauty with the extremist traditions of the cult produce an aesthetic not far from that of Annihilation

Amazing performance by George MacKay, the fight scenes were so intrusively flashing (definitely a seizure warning needed) that I felt musty as dazed and deluded as he was. Costume design was insane throughout, Alice Babidge continues to stun me with her work.

Going into this film I thought that the seemingly shot one-take would be the only interesting asset to the film but I was very wrong. The visuals, narrative, performances, music and cinematography combined allowed for a mind blowing cinematic experience. Of all the war films out there (that I have had the chance to see), this one has everything a film of this genre should have and it’s a raw reminder of why we should never forget the destructive history of those before us.
